gebs After hearing their single-track On Death and Dying, I knew I had to keep tabs on this band. This record shows that their brand of melancholy metal works as a series of distinct movements as well. Favorite track: Old Scars.

dcdirkzwager The previous album was my introduction to the band. That album turned out to be one of my all time favorite death/doom records. This album came as a bit of surprise, this has a more later-Amorphis or Ghost Brigade vibe. A bit different from what I expected, but very, very cool!

hatbanger_ollie Great hybrid child of Paradise Lost and Amorphis, made in Italy. The album is maybe a little bit too long but most tracks here are memorable. I'm anxious to see them live on stage touring with Draconian and Swallow The Sun. Favorite track: The Last Flower.

Another failure for my lonely heart Cold and dreary my land slumbers Another failure for my lonely heart Beauty coaxed out of ugliness Destination woe Ardor, ardor Desperation grows Ardor, ardor Another failure for my lonely heart Ruined, childhood’s place is broken Another failure for my lonely heart Broken, curtains descend for life Acceptance of the end All things transform Nothing stays the same Things are meant to break Transient, beautiful Destroyed, got lost Forgotten, bittersweet Another failure for my lonely heart Fallen, atrophy’s foreboding Another failure for my lonely heart Cold and ruthless is our sojourn Destination woe Ardor, ardor Desperation grows Ardor, ardor

As I run Onto these limbs so torn Toward the silence I know we’ll never meet again Feel no pain Barren world All is dying, so do I Trees are gone Stark, the branches and bones Every path I walked Every mount I dared to climb Led me here to These shores immortal So serene, the last of cycles Before I close my eyes for good A reason to die for To restore what’s lost This flower in my hands won’t die Escape from morrows uncertain Sacrifice for a greater good Put my own life into danger To shield the last flower So serene, the last of cycles Before I close my eyes for good A reason to die for To restore what’s gone This flower in my hands won’t die Barren world Weak, I run away from you Grace is gone We face the consequences Every beauty is tarnished Every joy is ephemeral Take me to These shores immortal As I drown Within this shell so worn I invoke the silence May you flourish and resist Feel no pain

Torn down to bits Traipsed for miles and miles It’s coming full circle This parable of mine Patience is virtue Death ain’t my wish Endless downward spiral Always on the brim How cold the sun? Running out of steam I blend into chaos, invisible These ruins of yore Shattered by the winds Here I find my harbor Below the stars These empty streets I’m bound to walk along I’m the last one standing Adrift and alone Darkness won’t take me I belong with decay Loneliness will guide me Clinging on to grace How cold the sun? Running out of steam I blend into chaos, invisible These ruins of yore Shattered by the winds Here I find my harbor Below the stars

Come, wayward son Reviving the burden Of long gone grief We’re marching through the flames Longing for melancholy We’re marching through the flames With nothing left to burn Someday you’ll learn How sweet is the burden Candid hell Admiring decadence These withering eyes crumble Into the chasm of night Yearning of solace, breathless Under a sketchy moon Embracing the thoughts In times of forgiveness Are we the ones to blame? This life is only transitory Until we fade away Like pictures of our youth Idle proof of joy Never eternal We’re marching through the flames Longing for melancholy We’re marching through the flames With nothing left to burn From day ‘til dawn We taste the burden Of our dreams

Old Scars 04:23
Demons have come to seize my force So long, my dear boy Buy your time but that won’t save you from Sorrow, dejection And as we destruct New things emerge out of nothingness We’re incomplete yet so divine We are one Tonight we show each other’s wounds So long, my old pal Bleeding through, how could these gashes mend? Arms raised to the sky When the dawn salutes the sun Rising up behind the clouds When the sun kills the night Moon fades out veiling the stars Show your scars, lay them bare now Show them proud, don’t try to hide When the night kills the fright We lie down under the stars When the tide reaches the bank With no qualms headfirst we dive Born and raised through thousand knives In this life we’re bound to cry And as we construct New things emerge out of nothingness We’re so courageous yet so alone We are one

In a spin of the earth Mankind succumbed unaware In a spin of the earth Swept away now Gone without a noise Forlorn, forlorn Praise the downfall of human race Forlorn, forlorn Isolation will set us free Consoled by the elder trees Finally the threat is gone, forever free A nature in disguise Gazing through the ashes of society In a spin of the earth Mankind succumbed unaware In a spin of the earth Swept away now Gone without a noise Inside this Eden defiled The grass is green The infesting son is gone Our species died out After disaster Enough to feed the worms Inside our Eden denied We’re nothing more than A memory blurred Forlorn, forlorn Praise the downfall of human race Forlorn, forlorn Isolation will set us free At the dawn of apocalypse Sceneries are gaunt and bleary Decayed, extinct A nature in demise A struggle for survival In a spin of the earth Mankind succumbed unaware In a spin of the earth Swept away now Gone without a noise

I’ve searched through my existence The pain that I’ve known Bruises and denials Carved inside my heart Grief, famine, doom Still dwell in my soul Like memories of war Eyes failing Before the morning comes I will go down To where all pain is gone I will go down I’ll wait for summer rain To come wash these mortal coils While honoring these scars I still recall I’ve searched through my existence The fears that I’ve known She gave me hope and therefore A reason to live Grief, famine, sorrow Have never left my soul Like memories of war Heart’s failing Clinging to a higher hope Deserting war, hiding to survive No more tears to sow in this lone earth From this tree I pray the birds to take me home And by the daylight I’ll reach the sea Inhaling black clouds, lulled by the breeze Here’s everything that I have achieved After the bottom of my darkest years Under the sunlight I will break free You’ll be my Charon in this stormless sea Remembering those eyes that once saved me Drunk on sorrow, eternally I’ve searched through my existence The dreams that I’ve known Forced to run for my life I became a ghost Grief, famine, sorrow Have never left my soul Like memories of war Heart’s failing Before the morning comes I will go down To where all pain is gone I will go down I’ll wait for summer rain To come wash these mortal coils While honoring these scars I still recall

Behind those eyes The restless feeling To run away from home We live and we die together Worn fate Without a meaning Bound to decay Won’t leave you behind Behind those eyes The restless feeling To run away from home We live and we die together Worsened, the night I grasp your sorrow Your shrunken feeble bones In this winter The coldest one of all My love corroded Everything I’ve lost Everything I’ve lost Wrong fate Without a meaning Bound to decay Won’t leave you behind Cold days This world we’re leaving In death’s embrace We’re fading as one Behind those eyes The restless feeling To run away from home We live and we die together Behind those eyes

Far beyond your loneliness Far beyond your grief denied Far beyond your loneliness Far beyond your own hell When I’m powerless Don’t balk, lower me down Far beyond your loneliness Far beyond your grief denied Far beyond your loneliness Far beyond your own hell Deep in the ground We’ll rest forevermore When the black cloud approaches Welcome the end with open arms A new death is born Yet another casket sinks down A population of sleeping bodies In a silent eternal gathering Adorned as we wither away Deaden weepings from the surface What fell apart can’t be restored Time heals nothing Time means nothing For every tear has brought me here An embrace colder than wintertide The rain keeps pouring Like tears of a secluded god A new death is born Far beyond your loneliness Far beyond your grief denied Far beyond your loneliness Through the morning ground clouds Exhale the flame within our hearts A new death is born

about

‘The Loss of Beauty’ is Shores Of Null’s fourth album and follows the acclaimed ‘Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)’, unanimously considered by fans and critics as one of the Doom Metal gems of recent years. Both albums were recorded between 2019 and early 2020, and although ‘The Loss of Beauty’ was initially conceived as the band’s third album, ‘Beyond The Shores’ took its place as it better reflected the doom and gloom sentiment of the 'annus horribilis' 2020.

Across 11 tracks (plus two bonus tracks), Shores Of Null once again submerges listeners with tempestuous and turbulent riffs. The band continues to hone its sound and take its melancholic dark metal to new heights by mastering an assorted palette of genres with inbred poignancy. The lyrics celebrate beauty in imperfection and transience and are meant to be an invitation to seek beauty in little things, especially those unexpected and ephemeral.

‘The Loss of Beauty’ is dark and heavy, tinged with feelings of despair and melancholy.
